Losing interest in my partner
This is my first relationship in my 26 years of life; I entered into it after giving it a lot of thought, but now it feels like I’m not enjoying it. The guy is really good and loves me deeply, so I just don't understand why I’m feeling this way. I just want to ask if it happens with everyone in a relationship or it's just me who is not sure of it.

It is very normal to not having same feelings as your partner has for you. But if you still doesn’t have feelings for him and believe that the relationship is not working, you can consult a relationship counsellor or psychologist.

What you are experiencing is incredibly common and happens to many people, especially in a first relationship. It is completely normal to feel unsure, even if your partner is a wonderful person who loves you deeply.
When you enter a relationship after a lot of analytical overthinking, the reality of a routine partnership can sometimes feel underwhelming compared to ideal expectations.
Losing interest doesn't mean you are broken or doing something wrong. It often signifies the natural fading of the initial infatuation phase, or a realization that despite his good qualities, there might be a lack of deeper emotional, intellectual, or romantic compatibility.
Next Steps
Reflect on the root cause: Try to identify if you are losing interest due to fear of intimacy, a specific lack of chemistry, or if the relationship has simply become stagnant and lacks shared engaging activities.
Communicate gently: Without being hurtful, let your partner know you are feeling a bit disconnected lately. See if changing your routine or exploring new environments together helps spark your interest.
Consult a Relationship Counselor: Speaking with a clinical psychologist or counselor can give you a safe, objective space to unpack your feelings before making any definitive decisions about the relationship.
Health Tips
Do not force or pressure yourself to feel a certain way just because your partner is "really good." A relationship requires mutual compatibility and genuine desire, not just a checklist of good traits. Give yourself permission to feel uncertain as you figure things out.
